Race riots are nothing new in the US. The Rodney King riots didn't have a virus to blame.

Seriously? Given the choice between "many decades of racial animosity and unfair police conduct" and "it's the lockdown", you really made that choice?

The Rodney King riots were isolated to Los Angeles.

If these riots had stayed isolated to Minneapolis you'd have a point.

there was no internet or social media back then. Different times.

And it's a good thing the Mongol Horde didn't have airplanes, or we'd all be drinking fermented horse milk with dinner. Guess technology really does change area of influence, don't it?

Google when was the WWW started (hint: August 6th, 1991), now do when was the LA Riots hint: May 4, 1992.

It was in its infancy but the internet did exist. Technically the "INTERNET" was around in the 1960's.
